A new military time travel adventure from New York Times bestselling novelist S.M. Stirling is set to thrill readers. Titled "It's the End of the World as We Know It," the book follows a team of American graduate students who are sent back to the late Roman Empire in a desperate attempt to remake the world into a better place.
The story begins with a scientist in Austria who, using billions of research dollars, has created a time machine and stockpiled low-tech survival gear. Sadly, he doesn't get the chance to use it himself, as a nuclear holocaust descends upon the world. Instead, a group of students, led by their professor, are sent back in time to the late Roman era, an era they are well-versed in through their studies.
However, the students quickly realize that their academic knowledge is no match for the realities of actually experiencing life in the past. They must navigate the challenges of a completely different world, where their modern sensibilities and expectations are often at odds with the harsh realities of the time.
As they struggle to survive and adapt, the students must also grapple with the weighty responsibility of trying to remake the world into a better place. This is no easy task, and the students are about to learn that the path to a brighter future is paved with unforeseen obstacles and difficult choices.
Praise for S.M. Stirling's work has been effusive, with reviewers hailing his ability to strike the perfect balance between grit and glory in his post-apocalyptic narratives. Harry Turtledove has praised the author's "powerful, convincing adventure with a large cast of ordinary and extraordinary people," while Library Journal has lauded Stirling's "stunning speculative vision of a near-future bereft of modern conveniences but filled with human hope and determination."
With his trademark blend of science fiction, military adventure, and thought-provoking themes, S.M. Stirling has crafted another gripping tale that is sure to captivate readers. "It's the End of the World as We Know It" promises to be a thrilling journey through time, where the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
